Chart showing FF miles needed to upgrade
I've been searching all over the UAL website, logged in with my mileage plus account and not logged in, and I can't find this. Did they remove it? I'm planning a trip next year and can only afford Economy, but want to know how many miles I need to upgrade to business/first. I could swear I've seen a chart like that in the past. Any links?

Thanks for the slightly snarky but super quick and helpful response.
(Even though I should have done a google search as you show, I don't think I can really be blamed for trying to search on UAL.com. Another example of companies who make you run a gauntlet to find information that should be up front and center on their own website. That way you know the data is correct, unlike google searches where you have to figure out which of the 10,000 hits are correct and current.)

alternative method
www.united.com> MileagePlus program > Use award miles > Use miles for flights, upgrades and more > Interactive travel destinations awards chart
Will warn the posted PDF is dated June 15, 2011 and there was another chart released March 3, 2012, not sure why the older chart is still referenced.

.bomb gets blamed a lot (rightfully), but not this time. Perhaps time to RTFM?

after reviewing it again with the help from posters here, I now realize how I missed it. I actually did get to that page when I was browsing around. But I failed to notice that the actual chart was "below the fold" as they say. (I.e. I should have scrolled down, but didn't because I didn't see any page refresh or other indication that choosing origin and destination had done something.)
